i walk the world in a skin so thin

I got my period yesterday and it was one of those times where it felt like my ability to think had ground to a halt. Just a really bad case of the dumb. Today I feel so much more alert and able to function.

I did manage to write a cute little Arrow story though:

I'm with you on Sleepy Hollow. I enjoy the show very much, but that's because of Ichabod and Abbie and everything that is delightful about them. I don't know why we aren't getting Irving and Jenny more, I like Henry being evil, I really don't trust Katrina but don't even know if I'm supposed to, and I'm a little wary of whatever the arcs are for the season. I would like it to feel tighter and more purposeful instead of monster of the week.

But I still really enjoy it, which is saying something, because usually if a show made me question what it was doing this much I would be less engaged while watching it. The chemistry is out of this world; I just love watching them.

I'm still enjoying it, but I feel like it could be so much BETTER - and it doesn't need to add anything, it just needs to go back to using what it already has!

Exactly! The mythology and characters are all there! I feel like it got caught in the second season trap of adding more characters and stuff when it really didn't need to. I was actually surprised by it, because unlike so many shows it really was set up to keep doing a lot of what it was doing. Sure, the season's big bad had to be slightly different, but as Witnesses with their various enemies it seems like they could have just kept on being a tight show with tight characters.

Yeah, I mean, they added Jenny and Irving to the main cast! Why did they not keep them in the action instead of foisting Hawley on us? I don't mind Reyes so much because she doesn't show up that often, and they do need some connection to the sheriff's department, but it feels like in trying to expand the cast, they went in completely the wrong direction.

Right

I agree with all your questions. I feel like they had a really good thing going and haven't really capitalized on it the way they could have. I still enjoy the show, but I just keep thinking it was better when Jenny and Irving were involved in the action.
